Tips on wine and chocolate pairings

Just because Valentine's Day has passed doesn't mean you can't pair wine and chocolate.

Wine and chocolate are two great tastes that go together at any time of year - especially during the cold weather months.

And while it's not some mysterious art governed by a complex alcohol content-to-cocoa percentile ratio, grabbing a Dove Bar and a bottle of Cabernet doesn't really fall under the heading of best practices.

One of our favorite food blogs, The Nibble, has this handy beginners guide to pairing wine and chocolate, suggesting the perfect wines for bittersweet, semisweet, milk, and white chocolates.

For those who want to get a little more adventurous, the guide also offer wine pairing suggestions for caramel and toffee, chestnut crème, chiles, cinnamon and ginger, coconut, and fruits.

If you've got a wine-loving special someone in your life with a sweet tooth, I'd keep this handy.
